Prairie Restoration at the Pheasant Branch Conservancy | Parisi in the Park

Dane County Executive Joe Parisi joins Laura Hicklin, the Director of Dane County's Land & Water Resources Department, to spotlight the Pheasant Branch Conservancy. Dane County Parks manages 319 acres at the Pheasant Branch Conservancy. This site has a diverse topography and provides a panoramic view of the Capitol building, downtown Madison skyline, and Lake Mendota. Native Americans chose the high point vistas as a location for burial grounds. Below the hill to the south, visitors can find the Pheasant Branch Creek wetlands and several predominant springs which provide fresh water for Lake Mendota. The lands above the hill to the north are being restored to prairie and wetland habitat and will offer additional recreational opportunities. Hiking, bird watching, and interpretative signage are enjoyed at the Conservancy. Links & Helpful Resources: The Pheasant Branch Conservancy https://www.danecountyparks.com/Natur...
